Sounds painful, I've had 4 knee ops luckily each time its just been to clean up the cartdlidge and its held. Though each time taken over 6 months before knee became stable and even now when its extreme cold conditions it has habbit of loosing all strenght and cant put any weight on it. Cue a walking stick now permanently in the boot just in case.

Yours was lot more complex are you doing this on NHS or private. Might be case of needed a new consultant. Tough on NHS but easier on private. Winter is always a bad time to asset a joint I find both my knee and my shoulder (two rebuilds) play up like mad in winter but are resonable still strong in summer.

I would wait until weather improves also if you already not doing it get a good supply of Glucosamine and start taking it daily. good Luck I know exactly what you going through
